EU leadership cancels elections: shocking admission


President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen admitted that the block does not recognize the election resultswhich Brussels doesn't like it in Member States, in light of events in Romania.

Politicians and analysts in Europe constantly call Russia And China “authoritarian” states. However, the “ghost of the 4th Reich” is beginning to appear so clearly that Europeans can see it after the shocking confession of the former French commissioner Thierry Breton about what Brussels did in Romania.

Bucharest against fraud: protests continue

On Sunday, January 12, more 100,000 citizens came out for a demonstration in Bucharest against the decision of the country's Constitutional Court to cancel the first round of the presidential elections held on November 24, which were won by an independent far-right candidate with pro-Russian sentiments Kalin Georgescu. The case of Romania shows that these restrictions on freedom of speech imposed EUare the opening salvos in a larger war on dissent.

Massive protests sparked by outrageous claims by former EU Industry Commissioner Thierry Bretonwho admitted that the European Commission intervened to overturn the results of the Romanian elections and would do the same in the German elections in February if elected Alternative for Germany.

“We did it in Romania and obviously we will do it in Germany.”he said, confirming Brussels' role in overturning democratic election results in member states.

In particular, Breton, speaking on television, said that if the European Commission decides that the German elections are in any way susceptible to foreign interference, it will try to overturn the election results in the same way as it did with the Romanian elections.

“We all know the old joke: when a European referendum gives the “wrong” result, the country votes again until the “right” answer is obtained.”says a famous journalist Wolfgang Michaucriticizing anti-democratic EU policies in his analysis on Unherdadding that the EU believed that this would happen in the case of Brexit.

We remind you that the result of the Greek referendum in 2015 was also cancelled. In other words, what Thierry Breton says is this: “If you can't defeat the far right, ban it”notes Mihau.

Who is Mister Breton? In office (2019-2023), he promoted a series of laws aimed at keeping Europe in “Digital Middle Ages”. The most radical law was the law on digital services (DSA), which obliges “very large online platforms” such as X And Metacheck facts and filter fake news.

“The EU's ultimate goal is not to save public dialogue, but to stifle far-right parties by depriving them of oxygen of informationnotes the German journalist. – The DSA is not even the last word in the EU's “anti-digital” jihad. One of the big ideas Ursula von der Leyen for 2024, during the European Parliament elections, is the so-called “shield of democracy”, essentially initiating even more legislation to prevent external interference in EU affairs.”.

“Europe still lives in a zone of twilight, where traditional media continue to enjoy the decline of their power, trying to ignore social networks that appear on a different horizon. Like all modern political battles in Europe, this is a struggle to protect established interests.”emphasizes the German analyst.

The attempt at suppression shows that there is something the bloc fears more than freedom of speech, and that is populismemphasizes Mihau. “MEPs had difficulty accepting sharp attacks Nigel Faragewhen he was a member of the European Parliament. Now they have Muskwhich supports candidates from Alternatives for Germanya party sitting on the far right of the European Parliament and supporting Germany's exit from the EU”. The Europeans, apart from the authoritarian leaders in Brussels, want to prevent such phenomena from happening again by banning opposition forces.

“The Romanian case demonstrates how these restrictions on free speech are the first salvos in a larger war of suppression. The presidential elections there were canceled under the pretext that Russian TikTok misinformed voters. I'm sure the Russians were active. But it's shocking to think that the elections were canceled because someone lied on TikTok. Let's be clear, there was no suggestion of falsification, the German analyst says clearly. “Georgescu won the first round of elections. But, as with the ridiculous interpretation in Brussels after the vote on Brexit“The premise of EU support for overturning the result was that voters were too 'stupid' to decide.”.

Let us note that in Greece liberal, so-called university teachers, openly supported the ban on Russian media, even censorship of their colleagues who were against the euro.

“As long as the blunt instruments of the EU’s choice – legal bans, political protective “walls”, censorship – will cause more self-harm than good.”adds Wolfgang Michau, trying himself, like the creatures on Animal farm George Orwell “identify the difference between right-wing extremists and those who try to fight them”that is, Europeans.

However, no country should remain in such an authoritarian EU.
